Moni Agiou Ioanni ProdromouThe Monastery of Timiou Prodromou, one of the most impressive monasteries in the region. Built into the cliffs of the Lousios Gorge, this serene and historic site offers spectacular panoramic views. The monastery, dating back to the 12th century, is home to a small group of monks and features beautifully preserved frescoes, manuscripts, and religious artifacts. A peaceful walk through its courtyards allows visitors to immerse themselves in its spiritual atmosphere and learn about its long-standing role in Greek Orthodox history.

The Holy Monastery of the PhilosopherNext, we travel deeper into the heart of the Peloponnese to visit Moni Filosofou, also known as the "Philosopher’s Monastery." It is one of the oldest monasteries in Greece, founded in the 10th century. This monastery is split into two sections: the Old Monastery, hidden inside a cave, and the New Monastery, which was built in the 17th century. Here, we will also learn about the secret school (Krifo Scholio) that operated during the Ottoman occupation, where Greek children were secretly taught language and history to preserve their heritage.

DimitsanaEnjoy free time and an overnight stay in Dimitsana, a charming mountain village rich in history and natural beauty. Wander its stone-paved alleys, admire the traditional stone-built houses, and soak in breathtaking views of the Lousios Gorge. Visit the Open-Air Water Power Museum to learn about the region’s industrial past or explore the old mansions and historic churches. Relax in a cozy café, tasting local delicacies and warm herbal tea. In the evening, savor a traditional meal at a local taverna, enjoying authentic Greek flavors by the fireplace. Sleep in a charming guesthouse, surrounded by Dimitsana’s serene ambiance.

Aimyalon MonasteryWe begin the second day of our tour with a hearty breakfast before setting off towards our first destination, Moni Aimyalon. Hidden in a lush forested area near Dimitsana, this monastery exudes peace and tranquility. The site is known for its scenic surroundings and beautifully preserved frescoes inside the chapel. It offers a wonderful setting for reflection and relaxation while learning about its fascinating past.
-
StemnitsaAs we drive through the scenic villages of Stemnitsa, you’ll be captivated by the charming stone-built houses, lush green landscapes, and picturesque streets. We stop wherever you wish—whether it’s for a refreshing coffee, a delicious meal at a traditional taverna, or a leisurely walk through the cobbled streets of one of these historic settlements.
-
Agia TheodoraAfter soaking in the beauty of Dimitsana and Stemnitsa, we continue to one of the most unique religious and natural wonders of Greece – the Church of Saint Theodora of Vasta. This small chapel is renowned for its miraculous phenomenon: 17 large trees grow from its roof, yet the structure remains intact without any visible roots! This awe-inspiring site has long been a place of pilgrimage, and visitors often leave in amazement at the incredible sight of nature and faith coexisting harmoniously. Before heading back to Athens, we will enjoy a delicious meal at a nearby traditional taverna. The region is known for its local delicacies, including roasted meats, homemade pies, and fresh cheeses, providing the perfect way to conclude our journey.
